Cher will be heading to Las Vegas soon, but she's working on a new album even before then!

The gay icon sat down with Chrome Hearts magazine to talk about her new record, the struggles to make it and what it will sound like.

Says Cher: "The truth is I’ve got this album I’m supposed to be working on. The truth is the songs are great. I’m totally into this album, the songs are the hardest songs. I don’t know why, but I picked the hardest songs that I’ve ever had to do on an album. I just picked them because I love them and didn’t think about actually having to sing them and they are very very difficult.” …. “I haven’t started the album yet, but I have all the songs. I was supposed to start it, but I wasn’t ready. I wasn’t good enough. I have to really buckle down. I’ve got to do some serious, serious work. I should have done it when I got off the road, but we didn’t have all the songs.” …”I picked the songs song-by-song. It’s not any kind of real music. It’s not a genre. Just great songs. More with a ROCK feeling to them, but not necessarily rock. Just with a GREAT beat and also some of them sound really country.”

Let's hope she doesn't try to wear that thong-thing again and try to "turn back time"…. and, just for once, try to make songs that aren't pablum for the stupid, but rather try and leave a real legacy - songs with heartfelt meaning…. NO TRIPE!

just let you know… there is no official word on the Vegas thing yet…I work in the box office at the Colossuem and i get asked every single day…I hope it's true. Word is they'll be announcing the next artist in September. let's hope its Cher

So yeah, ive got these songs that are great songs. They are hardest songs but i have to buckle down and sing these songs. I picked these songs….just great songs….lots of SONGS. SONGS SONGS SONGS!!!!!!!!! Did i mention the SONGS?!?!?!

I love Cher…..she is such a great singer. Unfortunately I am part of a generation whose idea of music is rhyming and talking about "bitches" and "hoes" and making up ridiculous slang words for everything under the sun. Nobody does anything original, they all copy eachother. Cher is an icon whether you like her or not, nobody can take that away from her. My generation wouldnt know what great music was if it hit them straight in the face. You gotta love the musicians who paved the way for the dull, less talented "musicians" today.

What's with the "Hurry up diva!!" at the end? It's not like she's only doing some simple gossip website afterall, where she can just type a few "cute" remarks and be done with it. It takes a lot of hard work to produce any type of high-quality creative work. While PerezHilton.com is a moderately entertaining website, it isn't anywhere close to being in the same class of quality or talent needed to produce it. So who is the real "diva" here?

i find it funny that so many people will call her names, yet she has more money then any of you will and is the only woman to have lasted this long in the business, and is still in high demand. too bad all of you are fat housewives and anorexic insecure teenagers that wont make it to her age nor look that good.

Wow, #42, what an eloquent use of the American language. My guess is this…your mouth must be strapped to a sewage drain most of the time, and if it isn't…it should be. Get an education and go kiss your mother.

I'm confused.
.
In 2000 didn't Cher publicly renounce her U.S. Citizenship, surrender her passport, move to France and apply for citizenship in France? I'm NOT joking, I'm TOTALLY serious.
.
So is this new album in French ???
.
I don't understand. Why would any American want to buy a French Album or watch Cher in a French movie ???

everyone is talking about how " waxy " Cher looks but you know what we MEN should start telling woman that they dont have to look so "HOT" because it just came to me that woman from the time they are like 10 years old they are obsessed about their faces- 1. they start using make-up on there faces ALL THE TIME. 2. then when they get a certain age they start thinking " PLASTICS" on their faces===I think That lots of Woman are a little too over the top bout their looks and Plastics seems to me that its just a natural evolution for woman or am I WRONG HERE???
